Chatter surfaces about ‘fast’ Apple A7 chip for iPhone 5S

The phone 5’s major common sense board.

A tweet from a Fox news reporter claims that new Apple silicon rumored to land in the phone 5S is “very quick,” while an Apple-centric blog says it is going to be sixty four-bit — echoing a previous rumor.

Clayton Morris tweeted Sunday that Apple’s next-generation A7 chip (the A6 at present powers the phone 5 and iPod four) “is operating at about 31% quicker than A6. I’m listening to its very quick.”

Then 9to5Mac, which referred to the tweet, brought a bit of flavor, claiming that some A7 prototypes are 64-bit.

The 64-bit A7 speculation first popped up about ten days in the past from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuok.

If correct, this is vital, as Apple’s earlier A sequence processors and different ARM chips from different suppliers, like Qualcomm, are 32-bit.

normally, 64-bit chips can address extra reminiscence and, consequently, can also be better at working extra irritating tool. 9to5Mac speculates that a 64-bit Apple chip will probably be more proficient at managing “animations, transparencies, and different ions 7 graphical results.”

and it would not be stunning to peer an identical silicon land in the iPod 5. The iPod four, for example, uses a high-performance model of the A6 (used within the phone 5) referred to as the A6X.
